QEMU is an open source computer emulation and virtualization software for many different computer systems. It includes support for many RISC architectures besides x86, with PA-RISC emulation since 2018. Current QEMU version is 9.2.0. QEMU emulates a complete computer in software without the need for specific virtualization hardware. With QEMU, a full HP Visualize B160L and C3700 workstation can be emulated to run PA-RISC operating systems. QEMU emulates PDC, I/O routines and hardware so the e...| OpenPA.net
During the early 1990s, so-called “pizzabox” workstations were very popular. Unix workstations had usually been bulky and cumbersome affairs since the 1980s, so smaller, desktop-compatible boxes were a welcome change. HP produced two PA-RISC pizzaboxes in its lineup: HP 9000 705/710 and the ever popular HP 9000 712. HP 9000 705/710 were the first small PA-RISC workstations, released in 1992. They used 32-bit PA-7000 PA-RISC processors and used a simplified version of the “Snakes” ASP ...| OpenPA.net
While HP-UX was mostly used for engineering and design applications during the PA-RISC heydays, several Unix games run on HP-UX, ported in the 1990s. This included many iconic 3D games from the early 1990s, compiled with OpenGL but also some other, semi-commercial ports of well-known games. Many freeware games were available for Unix and often could be compiled on various versions of HP-UX.
